Openai, creator of ChatGpt, recently launched two SORA models. OpenAI's video generation tool has become extremely popular, leading to a wave of copycat apps on the Apple App Store. As reported in 9TO5MAC, these apps have appeared in multiple countries with many apps mimicking SORA's branding, interfaces and promises, and often misleading users as downloading official versions.
Sora 2's popularity adds to copycat frenzy
SORA 2 is known for its ability to generate realistic, AI-powered video clips from text prompts. Video generation tools are the most talked about AI tools in 2025. The integration of viral demonstrations with the creative platform made it popular among content creators, marketers and educators. However, this popularity comes with imitation. According to a report from 9TO5MAC, developers across the region are hoping to make use of the topic in a hurry to release apps with similar names, logos and even fake screenshots. Some clones offer limited functionality, while others are completely fraudulent and charge users for features that do not exist.
App Store Measuring under scrutiny
The increase in the number of Pain 2 clones has started again with discussions about the moderation of the App Store and the capabilities of platforms like Apple. Apple defeats some spoofs, but new ones continue to surface, and in many cases there is a slight variation in names and branding. Security experts warn that some of these clones could pose privacy risks, collect user data, and insert advertisements into devices without proper disclosure.
